Distribution. This species is widespread in southeastern Australia from the Blue Mountains in New South Wales to Tasmania.

Remarks. There is some variation in the length of the apical spines on the gonocoxal plate, as well as differences in the length of the lateral epandrial process. More northern populations appear to have less pronounced spines on the gonocoxal plate.
